I think you're right. base-config checks to see if PCMCIA is set to "no". Grepping the boot-floppies tree shows that it only ever writes out PCMCIA=yes to dbootstrap_settings. I guess that if pcmcia is not used it doesn't write anything about it. This could easily be a more general problem with base-config and dbootstrap_settings, darn it. I've checked all the other variables base-config uses and they seem all right. Upload in incoming. I noticed another problem though as I was idly reading dbootstrap/pcmcia.c: #define PCMCIA_CONF_FILE "/target/etc/pcmcia.conf" In recent pcmcia-cs packages, this has relocated to /etc/default/pcmcia. I don't know if pcmcia-cs will notice the old file at all -- doubt it. I suspect this breaks installs involving pcmcia so pcmcia does not come up after the reboot. Can someone check? -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
